As 2007 draws to a close, no doubt we will all be casting our minds back over the past year - a rip-roaring sequence of exciting launches for tech-heads, gadget-lovers and gamers alike.

Just take a few examples: the iPhone, Windows Vista, PlayStation 3 and Halo 3 - all massive launches that helped define the year that was.

But let's not look to the past - let's try to glimpse the future instead. What's coming up in the coming 12 months that's worth watching out for?

In terms of gadgets and gear, I'm heading off to CES and Macworld in January, where we'll no doubt hear plenty of groundbreaking announcements: look for lots of bigger, faster, smarter hardware and some crazy outlandish stuff too.

I'm also unfeasibly excited about the prospect of a LEGO Batman and Indiana Jones. And gamers - what's floating your boat? Are you finally going to get to play the titles you've been waiting for?

That's just the tip of the iceberg, but 2008 will have to work hard to match the past 12 months. What are you looking forward to?
